Understanding Florida’s Unique Seasonal Demands
Living in Florida means dealing with distinct seasonal challenges for your home’s comfort systems. At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we understand how our local climate affects your plumbing and HVAC needs throughout the year.
Summer Preparation (May-October)
During our intense summer months, your air conditioning system faces its toughest workout. Here’s what to focus on:
• Schedule pre-season AC maintenance in early spring
• Replace air filters monthly during peak usage
• Monitor condensate drain lines for clogs
• Check outdoor unit clearance from vegetation
• Inspect ductwork for leaks and damage
Winter Considerations (November-April)
While our winters are mild, they still require attention:
• Test heating systems before the first cold snap
• Insulate exposed outdoor pipes
• Check water heater efficiency
• Clear gutters to prevent water damage
• Inspect indoor plumbing for leaks
Regional Specific Concerns
The Bradenton Metro area, including Lakewood Ranch, Manatee, Palmetto, and Parrish, experiences unique challenges:
• High humidity management
• Salt air corrosion protection
• Storm season preparation
• Water quality variations
• Seasonal population fluctuations
